Speaker:
Dr. Esther Ojulari
Co-Director, Baobab Centre for Racial, Gender and Environmental Justice, Cali, Colombia
Advisor, Secretariat to Colombia’s National Reparations Commission

About the Event:

Join us for this seminar featuring Dr. Esther Ojulari, Co-Director of the Baobab Centre for Racial, Gender and Environmental Justice in Cali, Colombia. Dr. Ojulari also serves as an advisor to the Colombian Vice-Presidency on matters concerning reparations and racial justice and is a member of the secretariat to Colombia’s new National Reparations Commission.

Overview

The past few years have seen important and significant advances in the call for reparations for the crimes and lasting legacies of colonialism, slavery and the transatlantic slave trade. Legal cases are being brought in local courts and discussed at international bodies, academic research is exploring the issue from new and innovative perspectives, and universities, museums, businesses and even private families with historic responsibilities in the transatlantic slave trade are beginning to enter into the global conversation on reparations. Afro-descendant organizations and movements that historically lead struggles for reparations, often facing huge push back and criticism from governments and wider society alike, are beginning to see the consolidation of a global movement for reparations.

The call for reparations for Afro-descendant peoples in the region of Latin America has been part of local Afro-descendant rights agendas for many decades, although often invisibilised. However, with the issue of reparations being incorporated into the current Colombian government’s agenda under the leadership of Vice President, Francia Marquez Mina, who recently launched the region’s first National Reparations Commission conversations on the issue have been brought to the forefront. This seminar will look at some of the opportunities and challenges for a reparations agenda in Colombia in this new global context.

This event is co-hosted by the Centre for Latin American and Caribbean Studies, the Institute of Commonwealth Studies, and the Human Rights Consortium, School of Advanced Study, University of London.

We look forward to seeing you there!

Strengthening Threads, Opening Paths for Museum-Community Healing? A Wapichana Residency
What are European museums with ethnographic collections doing to weave and strengthen threads with communities in Latin America and the Caribbean? Thinking with histories and practices of the Wapichana - Indigenous peoples from northern Brazil and southern Guyana - and their objects held at the British Museum, this event will reflect on the conditions that have created dislocation and disconnection between museums and communities. Artist Gustavo Caboco Wapichana and historian Roseane Cadete Wapichana - currently in residence at the Santo Domingo Centre of Excellence for Latin American Research (SDCELAR) at the British Museum - will meet with Jamille Pinheiro Dias (Director, Centre for Latin American and Caribbean Studies, University of London), Francesca Laura Cavallo (Founder, Brazil Footprint, University of Kent), and curators Diego Atehortúa and Magdalena Araus Sieber (SDCELAR), to discuss how colonialism and coloniality have created and perpetuated these dynamics, and consider how this current residency at the British Museum may open paths for healing relations between ethnographic museums and Indigenous communities.

Grieving Geographies, Mourning Waters: Race, Gender and Environmental Struggles in Oaxaca, Mexico

19 January 2023, 5:00PM - 6:30PM GMT

Meztli Yoalli Rodríguez Aguilera, Lake Forest College, USA

Grieving Geographies are spaces of complex collective loss due to multiple interconnected forms of violence. Engaging with critical race theory, feminist geography and anthropology, and decolonial political ecology, this paper explores the intersections of gender, race, and the environment in the context and legacies of colonialism in Mexico and mestizaje ideology. Black and Indigenous women in the Coast of Oaxaca grieve for the lagoons that are dying in front of them due to governmental and neoliberal policies, but also for the loss of members of their communities due to violence. I argue that facing the slow death of their lagoons system, plus everyday forms of violence, Black and Indigenous women organise to defend life, livelihood, and the lagoons in their community. These women have created everyday practices of resistance and alternative economies based on care and solidarity. This paper argues that grief can become a fuel for hope and political mobilisation, in which at the centre is the defense of human-non-human life and an intertwined affective relationship.

📣TODAY! The Future of Black Community Organisations in 21st Century Britain: An Engaged Ethnography

Speaker: Shey Fyffe (Birmingham City University)

⏰4pm GMT, ONLINE

👉REGISTER HERE: https://ilcs.sas.ac.uk/events/caribbean-studies-seminar-series-3

In the context of collective community responses to racially unjust societal conditions and treatment predominantly by the Afro-Caribbean community, and upon reflection of the surge of international attention and engagement with Black radical political thought and social action since the 2010s, this research explores the challenges facing Black community organisations with Black radical objectives in the political, economic and socio-cultural conditions of contemporary Britain. The key findings of an engaged ethnography conducted in a present-day ‘Bricks and mortar’ Black radical community organisation are presented, exploring the facets of disunity within the space. The obstacles that arise inform theorisation of the conflictions existing between the neo-liberal capitalist ideals that govern present Britain, and Black radical, anti-capitalist, revolutionary political ideals upon which the organisation was founded. In explicating the obstacles faced, this research seeks to highlight the necessity for the establishment, and preservation of Black community organisations as counter-publican institutions of Black radical unity, integral to the dismantling of oppressive systems at a grassroots level, and the bringing of Black radical visions of liberation to fruition.

Picturing Ghosts in Post-Dictatorship Chile: Interdisciplinary Thoughts on Memory, Haunting and Cultural Production 26/10/2022

Picturing Ghosts in Post-Dictatorship Chile: Interdisciplinary Thoughts on Memory, Haunting and Cultural Production

2 November 2022 - 4-5.30 pm UK time, ONLINE

With Cara Levey (UCC), Jordana Blejmar (Liverpool), Graham Dawson (Brighton) & Struan Gray (Falmouth)

This panel discussion will consider the value of haunting as a lens for interrogating the cultural afterlives of authoritarian violence and social struggle, focusing on the context of post-dictatorship Chile. The speakers will respond to Struan Gray’s recently published monograph Picturing Ghosts: Memories Traces and Prophesies of Rebellion in Postdictatorship Chilean Film(Opens in new window), published as part of Peter Lang’s Cultural Memories series in 2022. Looking at haunting as a textual trope, a conceptual metaphor and a structure of feeling, the book asks to what extent film can enact an alternative form of historiography, in which seemingly distinct histories imaginatively interact.

From houses to roads, infrastructures offer a unique lens through which to explore social and political change. Latin America provides fertile terrain to explore these issues. The region has been subject to extensive foreign intervention for centuries and much of its infrastructure has primarily been constructed to benefit colonial and imperial powers. Yet Latin America has also seen widespread resistance to colonial-capitalist expansion, and infrastructures have been central to these diverse struggles. Drawing on recent empirical research, this cross-disciplinary book demonstrates the value of analysing social and political change through infrastructure. The authors explore a diverse range of Latin American infrastructures, from a sparkling new tram network in Ecuador to a crumbling old nuclear plant in Cuba. In addition to making a novel contribution to global infrastructure debates, the volume offers important new insights into Latin American history, society, and politics.
